Yeah, performance was much worse in act 3. That's true. It's a top down turn based game, so 30 FPS was acceptable for me. Still, it wasn't ideal. I think that's been improved now if you wanted to give it another go.

No. It's fine to do.

I played it at release and didn't have very many bugs. I could see players having issues with the freedom that it gives though. The whole point of the game is it doesn't tell you how to solve problems, and you need to come up with solutions yourself. I could see people coming from playing only modern AAA games not being used to thinking for themselves and that causing issues, but I don't know if this is what you meant.

If you go this route, I wouldn't tell them what the others said. If they don't agree then somethings wrong. If you tell them they might just agree because they may be the ones who make more money.

Your comment about wealth seems to be dismissive. Sure, many people have more and do worse. That's not an argument saying he can't do more. That's only an argument that he could do less also. He can obviously do more. Saying one thing is worse than another thing doesn't excuse either. Both can and should improve.

I don't know about the laws surrounding him as monarch. Maybe you're right that he can't say anything. I don't believe this is totally true because the monarchs platform people frequently. Maybe they aren't supposed to, but they obviously can do more than just keep quite. He could invite this woman to a state dinner, for example, and give her more of a platform. There are many options available. He is not powerless to do anything.

Yeah, most of the time the protesting groups bring their own armed people. They don't take part in the protests generally though. They stand to the side and watch (at least for leftists, I think the right they're more directly part of it).

Ideally the police is what you're asking for, but I wouldn't put much faith in them.

The logic is, unless your religion has an actual basis in reality, you don't have any more claim to being more well reasoned than any other. Without this, any (and none) are on equal footing. If you believe just because you believe in something but you don't have any particular reason to believe in your one, odds are you're wrong.

It confronts people who claim they believe the true god(s) to say why they're correct over the infinitely many others that could exist.

This is largely the thing that led me on my path towards atheism. I had a Buddhist friend in middle/high school, which led to me having an interest in other religions. Once you recognize all of them have equal reasons for their belief, it makes it hard to believe you happened to just be born into the one that's real.

Muhammad was a prophet, not a god figure. Jesus is said to be both.

Edit: I guess, by this logic, the Buddha probably shouldn't be there maybe.

He is an extraordinarily wealthy man who has a platform that many will listen to. He can do a lot on his own to change things. Yeah, he doesn't control the government, but do you think anyone has ever accomplished anything who doesn't? Obviously havi g the government do what you wish on a whim is not the only method to get things done. Many have accomplished more good than him with less.

The crown greatly enriched themselves in the act. They should also pay reparations.

I disagree it reduced her influence. She's now made a name for herself. She likely wasn't given much influence to start with, but she's been handed a platform to speak with now.

There was apparently a woman behind their target.
